We heard the plight of the villagers livingnear Eze River in Ozubulu Anambra State, Nigeria.

Our family pledged the money from our book sales and gave it to WOW.

WOW raised $35,000.00, partnered with Dr. Stong, a retired architech, who went to Nigeria, designed and supervised the effort. The villagers that live in the area contributed 30 men & women workers for 60 days.

Watch and Be Blessed!

150 tons of excavation; 175 tons of concrete; 47 tons of timber; and 6 tons of steel pipe was what it took to build the Eze River bridge in the Anambra state village of Ozubulu.

I can't wait to see what growsfrom the financial seeds planted this year.
